Winterland Arena

Awesome 17+ minute jam. Very sharp, jazzy leads - a rival of 11/11/73.

Blues Power!!! Jam just keeps building and building, and is funky as hell!

Gets pretty spacey, sounds like they hint at Tighten Up a little...

Probably some of the funkiest Phil I've ever heard

Wow. Just WOW. Absolutely the finest Fire conclusion I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. This is one of my new all-time favorite Jerome moments right here...

My only complaint: watch out for Donna during the coda, she is extra bad here! :-O

Philadelphia Civic Arena

Absolutely! My favorite pre-hiatus version before the jams got really extended. '74 rocked for this song.

A transcendent conclusion!

Definitely a great early version we got here...whole show smokes. Check out 2/15/73 for an even earlier proto-slipknot tease
